Zhan Xiao was indeed a rather handsome person. At the very least, the outline of his facial features was in line with Luo Nan's Earth aesthetic standards. His eyes were brilliant, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised. Their radiance was sharp. Even though Luo Nan was separated by nearly twenty meters, his piercing gaze was quite penetrative.
In comparison, his voice seemed quite muffled within the rapidly refracting tunnel. By the time it reached Luo Nan's side, it was already buzzing.
Liang Lu's expression darkened, but he didn't respond immediately. He didn't continue forward either. Instead, he turned on his communicator and conveniently sent Luo Nan into it. He was using a device that could communicate across the entire planet. He was separated by twenty meters, and he was speaking to the target personnel. His words were full of sarcasm.
"Officer Xiao, a problem can be found with the most basic of random sampling. What do you want me to do?"
At first glance, it sounded like these two were about to shed all pretense of cordiality when they spoke. However, the curve of Zhan Xiao's lips was even more obvious. He no longer paid attention to any rank. "Speaking of which, you might be disappointed. I already made a will when I joined the army. Even if something happens to me, the designated beneficiary of the out-of-print sound source will be Sister Ming. It won't be your turn to have a heartless mouth like you."
Liang Lu spat, "Don't call me Sister Ming. Her Highness may not remember a distant relative like you."
Liang Lu immediately became alert after the first sentence was said. "Your brain is broken. You're starting to have delusions! Speaking of which, didn't they feed you medicine?
Luo Nan watched the two spit at each other from a distance, but he didn't feel too much hostility. It was just as he understood in the past. Liang Lu and Zhan Xiao's friendship was quite deep.
Liang Lu's choice to use his communicator wasn't an act of taking off his pants and farting. It must be known that Zhan Xiao's current position was separated from the tunnel by the seemingly busy full-time personnel of the Jingming Administration.
Unless they forcefully charged through the crowd, they could only spit insults at each other.
The personnel of the Jingming Administration were quite quiet. They allowed Liang Lu and Zhan Xiao to spit insults at each other. They did what they needed to do. There was practically no reaction. At most, one person came over to Liang Lu and Luo Nan's side to tell them to maintain a safe distance. He also made a mark on the retina interface of the two.
Through an effect similar to AR, Luo Nan could clearly see that Zhan Xiao had already drawn a prison. Zhan Xiao's range of activity was limited to a radius of several meters with Zhan Xiao as the center. Zhan Xiao was isolated from the normal world.
It was precisely in this situation that Liang Lu lacked the mood to escalate the war of words. He simply introduced Luo Nan to Zhan Xiao, just like how he introduced Luo Nan to Lu Ande. It was still the same "Elite Seed", "Segmentation and Accuracy" and so on. Of course, the most outstanding one was still the "My Soldiers" attribute judgement.
Zhan Xiao wasn't as polite as Lu Ande. He just nodded towards Luo Nan. Luo Nan was separated by such a distance. If Luo Nan's eyes and mental senses weren't as good, he would have missed the opportunity.
But this person turned around and stabbed Liang Lu in the heart. "You have such a poor vocabulary to say the same words twice in a minute. Do you really know how to embarrass our Shoujing Academy? Or is this the only bright spot you have after joining the army?"
"F * ck!"
It was only then that Liang Lu remembered that Colonel Xiao in front of him had the blood of the royal family flowing in his veins. He was extremely talented in sensing and specialized in such things. Even in the complicated environment of the frontline, a hundred meters was nothing to him.
Obviously, the conversation between them and Lu Ande had been heard by this fellow.
Liang Lu wasn't a particularly thick-skinned person to begin with. This time, he choked quite badly and was momentarily speechless.
However, Luo Nan felt that it was more likely that Liang Lu had met him halfway.
She was worried that Zhan Xiao's words had been heard by the other party, which made it even more awkward.
On the other side, Zhan Xiao was unforgiving. He glanced over and said, "Minister Liang Lu, what's with that expression? Do you feel that the evidence is conclusive, so you want to make an early judgment and deal with me before Sir Hui and the others arrive? "
Liang Lu wanted to answer, but in the end, he could only curse indiscriminately.
Seeing that Liang Lu was completely speechless, Zhan Xiao finally let out some of the pent-up air in his chest. His tone also lowered, and he seemed to be chatting casually, "I don't need you to worry about me. What's the point of worrying about me? The battlefield is the most unpredictable place to begin with. It's just that there are people like Loande who have a tough life, people like you who never improve, and people like me … "
"What's wrong with you! Did you play out the appraisal, the disposition, and the funeral in your head? "
Liang Lu was finally annoyed by Zhan Xiao's words. His emotions surged, and he fiercely spat into the communicator, "You still have the face to talk about Senior Lu? Seven years ago, you evaluated him. Did you judge him correctly? Four years ago, you wanted to seal the coffin. Did you seal it? Right now, right now, Senior Lu is right outside. If you have the time to spout nonsense, go kowtow to him and worship him as your master. Senior Lu will definitely teach you the ability to lift a coffin! "
This wave of verbal abuse caused Zhan Xiao's face to turn green. It was to the extent that a few full-time members of the Jingming Administration could no longer maintain their neutral calmness. They turned their heads to look. It was as if they were worried that Zhan Xiao would be careless and directly attack his heart with evil poison, contaminating him on the spot.
But in the end, Zhan Xiao just pursed his lips and maintained his silence.
Luo Nan was confused listening to this part. Liang Lu actually thought of him. He used a rather deliberate tone to converse with Luo Nan, "Oh, Luo Nan. I've never told you about Senior Lu before, right?"
Luo Nan could guess a bit about Liang Lu's thoughts, so he played along very obediently, "No. I … … I'm confused."
"Hehe. The reason why I solemnly introduced Senior Lu to you just now was so that you could properly get to know a true heroic character. Senior Lu is different from a certain someone. He is one of the most outstanding and legendary graduates of our Shoujing Academy. He is the type of person that the school will specially invite to the school's anniversary celebration! "
Zhan Xiao just swept his gaze over from afar, but he listened to Liang Lu's flattery and trampling on the weak.
Luo Nan honestly played the role of a supporting character. He went, "Oh. He's a senior alumnus."
"What senior!? He hadn't graduated yet when I entered the school. Even a certain someone is a year older than him! "
Luo Nan was immediately shocked.
He seriously recalled the face of Lieutenant Lu Ande, who was still standing guard outside the passageway. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to find any evidence that Lieutenant Lu was only two years older than the young and inexperienced Liang Lu and one year younger than the young and handsome Zhan Xiao.
Could it be that he first joined the military, then accumulated merits and advanced his studies?
"We're schoolmates in the General Knowledge Stage. After we graduated, a certain someone relied on his family background to enter the military school. Senior Lu directly enlisted in the military, and I stayed in the specialized school for a few years before enlisting in the military this year. "
Liang Lu eliminated a reasonable option and gave a standard answer at the same time, "Senior Lu is only two years older than me!"
I'd believe it even if he was twenty!
Luo Nan hissed. He didn't need to act; he already had a shocked appearance, "No way!"
"That's right. He's one year younger than a certain someone."
Luo Nan looked at Zhan Xiao's slightly gloomy but still handsome and young face. He clearly knew that Liang Lu had no reason to lie to him, but he still spent some time to adjust his train of thought.
"This … … Is it because he's injured?"
Luo Nan thought of Lu Ande as he spoke.
There were clear scars on his chest, neck, and face, as well as a large amount of artificial prosthetics. By Earth's standards, this level could already be considered an Altered Human.
"That's right. You should know about the Ancestral Defense War four years ago."
"I … …"
Fortunately, Liang Lu was just asking in passing. Then he supplemented, "Senior Lu was in the Ancestral Defense Patrol Fleet at the time. He held the position of Sergeant Major. When faced with the alien species that suddenly broke through the realm and entered, the remnants of the fleet were able to defend the Ancestral Stargate in a situation where over 70% of the fleet was lost in the first wave. They won over Her Highness to lead the army back to aid them. For this reason, he received the title of the Empire's War Hero. "
Luo Nan could only nod at this time.
As for the alien species that Liang Lu mentioned, Luo Nan had some understanding of it during this time. This referred to a living species that could shuttle back and forth between multiple space-time environments. They possessed the ability to adapt to multiple space-time laws.
They had varying levels of combat power. The weak were extremely weak, and the strong were extremely strong. But their greatest commonality was that they had extremely high endurance and extremely strong survivability. Some species were simply like locusts in the universe. They were like plagues, causing people to change color just by hearing about them. Even an advanced civilization like the Heavenly Yuan Empire would often view them as a natural disaster during their heyday.
In the Light Concealment Galaxy, there were a few alien species that had mutated due to the evil poison. They wandered aimlessly through the complex starry sky environment. Every time they appeared in a star domain inhabited by humans, they would bring about catastrophic destruction.
For example, the Fantasy Breed and their servant army that were besieging the relay station were relatively gentle and respectful.
Luo Nan lacked sufficient perceptual knowledge of the Ancestral Defense War back in the day due to his lack of knowledge. But he was able to understand the degree of desperation of this war purely by reasoning.
However, Liang Lu's description said that Lu Ande's legend did not come during the war, but after the war.
"You saw Senior's appearance. Those are all scars left behind from the war. But you didn't see how he looked when he came down from the battlefield. Half his body and half his head were smashed flat. The stargate fortress's Jade Crystal Array was overloaded and shut down. They were on the verge of collapsing in hand-to-hand combat. They fought face to face with the alien species, and they were immersed in the evil poison environment. They were even more seriously polluted.
They were only a hair's breadth away from a destructive mutation. "It can be said that nothing can be saved from those kinds of injuries. Senior was a bit lucky and managed to hang on to his life. But the life furnace that he cultivated bitterly for many years in the army completely collapsed. Add to that the disability of his body. He won't be able to stay in the army. He will be a cripple even if he is discharged …. Humph.
Luo Nan quickly shot a glance at Zhan Xiao. Zhan Xiao's lips held a sneer, but his gaze was a bit fleeting.
Liang Lu was ruthless as well. He stabbed at Zhan Xiao's heart like an invisible knife. "How did Senior Lu do it? He recovered his consciousness while he was recuperating. He had the energy to research the theories and methods of internal cultivation and internal refinement. He started from the beginning, deducing and experimenting step by step. He endured the pain of his illness for over three years. He risked the risk of genetic collapse at any time and overcame countless difficulties. He published over a dozen professional theses and obtained the Heaven Stairway armlet with a half-crippled body …. This was much better than a certain someone who relied on his royal bloodline and his inherited treasured texts to earn glory!
"And in the end? He started with the external force that was implanted into the Dynamo Core. He guided the external force into the internal force, causing the furnace to restart and reforge. His cultivation has completely recovered, and he has even made progress. He has returned to the army and is still a great man. Even someone as fierce as Sir Shi praises him …. "
Liang Lu's voice grew louder and louder. He had nearly forgotten himself. Right at this moment, a laugh traveled into everyone's ears. "Oh my, my terrible reputation has spread to the Two Beehives?"
